Leave your thoughts about The Brain That Wouldn't Die.
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesHow can anyone not love a movie in which a woman's bitter disembodied head snarls to a mutant locked in a closet, "I'm only a head ... and you're whatever you are..."? |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzZ-budget cheapie exploitation mad scientist film from AIP. |
| Entertainment WeeklySteve SimelsThe Brain That Wouldn’t Die has an equally familiar basic plot (mad scientist tampering in God’s domain), but it’s grimmer (a fair amount of gore), sleazier (B-girl catfights), and cruel to its leading lady, an attractive actress who spends most of the picture shot from the neck up, with her seemingly disembodied head sitting in a laboratory pan. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonOne of those so-bad-it's-good-to-experience-at-least-once-in-a-lifetime efforts, this grade-Z cheapie is pretty wretched yet deserves extra credit for being so brazenly bizarre. |
| User ReviewMelodie BI remember watching this with my dad as a small child. I think that's why I like it so much. |
| User ReviewSabra EA scientist cruises strip joints to hijack a body for his decapitated girlfriend's pissed off noggin. The Goonies' Baby Ruth monster makes his debut in this classic gem. There is violence! |
| User ReviewJonathan SBAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAH 5 stars for comedy |
| User ReviewChelsea FSo great! The severed head of a mad scientist's wife forms a kind of telekenetic bond with a monster living in the closet. I give that 5 stars... |
| User ReviewWoody WC'mon this movie is sooo crazy, It's a cheesy horror\sci fi fan's dream come true. |
| User ReviewRandy TESTA OBRA DE CULTO ES SENCILLAMENTE IRRESISTIBLE, UNA DE LAS MEJORES PELICULAS DE SU TIPO. BUEN CINE BASURA, SE LAS RECOMIENDO, BAILARINAS, DECAPITACIONES, MONSTRUOS INCOMPLETOS, SANGRE, LES VA A ENCANTAR. |
